Rest is revolution

Yet again I’ve been reminded by the Universe, in a not-so-gentle manner, that I must prioritize my health and wellbeing over the timeline of capitalism. It seems to circle back to the theme of people-pleasing and not recognizing my worth, despite all the work that has been done internally to remember who I am.
This full moon energy in Libra has shone a light on what is necessary for me to ibring into the next chapter: self-advocacy. Because I may not always be in a role where employers are understanding and want what’s best for me. Future me may be put in a situation where I have to disappoint others in order for me to recalibrate and balance for my wellness. And that’s more than okay.
I don’t need to rush my recovery for anyone. The Universe continues to reinforce its stance that it always has my back, no matter how challenging the delivery may be. And for this I am grateful.
Rest is revolution. I can be of no great service to anyone else if I am not operating at my best. This, I know, I am worthy.
Do you ever feel guilty for resting when it’s needed?
